Angular 1 custom directive not executing

Question

I have my directive defined as follows:

'use strict;'

angular.module('clientApp')

.directive('afterLast', ['$ocLazyLoad','$timeout',function($ocLazyLoad, $timeout){
    console.log('entered directive');
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function(scope, elem, attr){
            if (scope.$last === true){
                console.log('entered directive')
                $timeout(function(){
                    $ocLazyLoad.load(['some files'])   
                })
            }
        }
    }
}]);

And, I am using it as an attribute as follows:

<div ng-repeat="topicObject in module.topics track by $index" afterLast>

  <div class="ft-section">

    <div ng-repeat="learningPointObject in topicObject.learningPoints track by $index">
        <div class="ft-page">
            <h2 class="module-name" style="text-align: center;">{{module.name | capitalize:true}}</h2>
            <h3 class="topic-name">{{topicObject.name | capitalize:true}}</h3>
            <h4>{{learningPointObject.name | capitalize}}</h4>
            <hr>
         </div>
     </div>

  </div>

</div>  

But my directive is not executing. Even the console.log statements inside and outside the link function are not working. 1. Am I using directives the correct way? 2. If yes, what could be the reasons for it not working?

Answer 1

In the HTML the directive name needs to be in kebab-case, not camelCase.

 <!-- ERRONEOUS camelCase
 <div ng-repeat="topicObject in module.topics track by $index" afterLast>
 -->

 <!-- USE kebab-case -->
 <div ng-repeat="topicObject in module.topics track by $index" after-last>
